It might be hard to see since the stock aspecs have the textured lenses. Besides i think they have universal halo rings that do a similar job.

Headlights, tails, fogs, reg. plate, speaker grills, door handles etc. The wire is really flexible and you can cut it to length so you're only limited by your imagination.

There once was a guy with sn Pluto in 1st Gen section who made custom "angel eyes" to his FE3 coupe out of blue EL wire. It looked really cool but unfortunately the pics are no longer available and he's been inactive for so long that I don't think he even has a profile here anymore.

What size of wire did you use? 1.2mm?

I didn't measure it but I believe it was 2.3 or 2.6 mm before I stripped it. Core wire is 1.6mm. I'll see if I still have this piece that I cut off and get bit more accurate numbers.
